Your broker offers you the opportunity to purchase a bond with coupon payments of $90 peryear and a face value of $1000. If the yield to maturity on similar bonds is 8%, this bond should:

A bond with face value $1399 and a term of 11 years pays quarterly coupons of 11% per annum. The bond is offered at a price of $1050. You are to enter the above values into a spreadsheet, along with    -  an initial wild guess at what the yield would be, and    -  a calculation of the bond price using your guess as the yield. (a) Use Excel’s “Solver” (which is different from “Goal Seek”) to solve for the actual yield that produces the correct bond price. Take a screen shot of your computer with “Solver” open showing clearly the entries that you put into Solver. Paste the screen shot into an application (like Paint), and save it as a (.png) file. Upload your screenshot below. (b) What is the yield calculated by Solver?

A 15-year bond with a face value of $1,000 currently sells for $850. Which of the following statements is most correct? The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate. If the yield to maturity stays constant until the bond matures, the bond's price will remain at $850. The bond's current yield is equal to the bond's coupon rate. The bond's yield to maturity is the same as capital gain yield. All of the statements above are correct. None of the above are correct
